Main RSI Q-Peak NightSea

Mission

The Mission of Q-Peak, Inc.is to provide customers with leading-edge solid state laser and nonlinear optics systems, with activities ranging from basic development efforts through the supply of complete, fieldable lasers.

Q-Peak developed the QS20 laser, which generates 5-W of UV, and the QS10 laser, generating 5-W of green light

Core Competencies

Core competencies include solid state laser and nonlinear optics design, development, construction and testing. Laser types include bulk-crystal and fiber formats, lamp and diode-pumped. An extensive background in basic materials understanding and characterization allows Q-Peak to transition new laser and nonlinear materials from initial discovery to deliverable systems that meet a wide range of environmental conditions, allowing generation of new wavelengths from THz to the deep-UV. Engineering disciplines include optical, mechanical, thermal and electronic, supporting complete laser systems development.
